I'm sorry this took forever to update. Things have been busy between work and vacation. I usually write these during work but lately I either been doing this before I go to bed or while I'm at the hair salon or something.

Disclaimer: I only own Sasha. Sega characters belong to Sega.

Anyways, enjoy!

After a few minutes of panic, terror, and a bit of nausea washing over me, the plane finally lands near a lake in an opened area in the forest. As everyone gets off the yellow aircraft, Sonic finally sets me down.

"Heh heh. I see you're not a fan of heights." Sonic says with a chuckle.

"Are you ok?" Tails asks, showing concern.
"*pant* ...Yea...*pant* ...I'm fine...*pant*" I manage to say though my heavy breathing.
After calming down, I finally straighten up and look at the colorful beings before me.
"Umm...thanks for saving me guys...um I'm Sasha by the way."

Still can't believe I'm talking to fictional characters right now...

"Well, as you you know already, I'm Sonic. This dude over here is my best buddy, Tails." Sonic said before giving Tails a high five. "And this knucklehead over here is Knuckles." Sonic pointed to Knuckles who only crossed his arms and glared back at him.
"Anyways," Knuckles said before turning his attention back to me. "I don't think I've seen you around here before. Do you live far, like in Downunda?"
"I guess you can say I live far...FAR away..." I reply.
"Where's that?" Tails asks me.
"...Earth..." I replied awkwardly.
All three of them stared at me with eyes widened.
"...you came from Earth? How is that even possible?" Knuckles asked.
"I didn't know they had mobians on Earth."

Mobians...?

I tilted my head and shot Tails a confused look. "What do you mean by mobians? I'm a human." I say utterly confused. The trio exchanged awkward looks before returned his attention back to me and saying: "Okay, but I've never seen a human with striped fur before."

Striped fur...what is he talking about?

Confusion, curiosity, and worry washes over as I furrowed my eyebrows and walked towards the lake that was only a few feet away. Stopping at the edge, I cautiously knelt down to looked at my reflection in the water, afraid of what I might see. My eyes widened as I let out a small gasp. I indeed had striped fur covering my entire body. My stripes were orange and black that were similar to a tiger's. My ears on the sides of my head were replaced with pair of cat ears on the top of my head. Looking at my face, I now had a white furry muzzle and my eyes seemed to have grown bigger in size. Now, instead of having many lashes I just had two really long ones on each eye.
Trying my best to stay calm, slowly stood up and started backing away from the lake. I happened to look down at my hands to see they are covered in black fur and continues midway to my elbows.

What the...

Something swept past the corner of my eye. I looked behind me the best way I could and nearly screamed. A long black and orange striped tail that was completely black at the tip swayed back and forth.
"I'm...I'm a tiger!?" I yelled in a panicky tone while trying to calm my shaking hands.
"Wow, you just now noticed?" Knuckles asked sarcastically.
"Well with the day I've been having, it was kinda hard for me to notice." I retorted, feeling annoyed by his comment.

Now that I think about it, you think I would have noticed how much shorter I was.

"It must have been that stupid gas Eggman used that did this to me." I say looking at my hands again.

"Wait, you said Eggman did this to you?" Sonic asked. I nodded.

"A gas you say?' Tails asked thoughtfully while placing a finger up to his chin.

"I knew it. Eggman is up to something big and he probably has the chaos emeralds involved." Knuckles says with a growl.

"Well in that case, we better find out what he is up to and fast." Sonic says.

"Ok then,but in the meantime, what do we do about her." Knuckles gestures to me.

Excuse me, but "her" has a name.

"Let's take her to my lab so I can run some tests about this gas that Eggman used. Then we can see about we can do about getting Sasha back home." Tails suggests.

"All right then, let's go!" Sonic says as Tails and Knuckles both hop back in the plane.

"Heheh. Well, I'm guessing you wouldn't want to ride in the plane again so how about I carry you this time?" Sonic suggests while rubbing the back of his neck.

I thought about it and then I nodded. "Um...Sure."

As long I don't have to get back on the death trap.

With that, Sonic scooped me up in his arms and took off.

Who would've guessed I would spend today being a lab rat.

I was now in another gas cylinder that was pretty similar to the one I was in when I first woke up on this planet. For the past couple of hours Tails has been running tests and scans on me, trying to figure out what kind of gas got me into this state.

Tails then wipes the sweat from his forehead as he pushes a button on the control pad causing the glass cylinder I'm in to open. "Okay Sasha, you can come out now."

I carefully stepped out, making sure not to trip or anything before making my way over to him.

"Any luck, Tails?" Sonic asked as he walked into the room followed by Knuckles.

Tails released an exhausted sigh. "Nothing at all."
"This is pointless. I gotta get back to guarding the master emerald." Knuckles comments as he folds his arms.
"Let's work on this some more tomorrow when everyone else is here." Sonic suggests while stretching his arms.
"You're right. Until then, we need to find a place for Sasha to stay tonight."
"How about Amy's place?" Knuckles suggests with a shrug.
"No way." Sonic says bluntly.
"Come on Sonic, it's already late and Amy's house isn't that far from here." Tails stated.
"Anyways, don't you want to visit your number one fan?" Knuckles asks teasingly.
Sonic just glared at him while gritting his teeth.
"Amy's house...?" I questioned mainly to myself.
"Oh yea. Amy is a friend of ours who is clearly obsessed with Sonic. Sure, she can be a little excited and hyperactive but trust me, you would like her." Tails explains to me with a reassuring smile.

It's not that I have a problem with Amy. I just don't know if I can handle living with someone who is to damn happy all the time.

"Sonic it's already late. Just take the girl over to Amy's house and call it a night."
Sonic then sighs in defeat. "Okay fine. Come on Sasha."
"Okay then. Bye Tails. Bye Knuckles." I say, waving at them before following Sonic out the door.

It was already kinda dark outside, but it was still visible. Because of the headache I having due to the crazy events that's happened today, I preferred to walk. Sonic said he didn't mind since Amy's house wasn't that far. We were now half way there and it has been awkwardly silent between the both of us.

I am walking with the my childhood idol and can't even think of anything to say. I have so many questions to ask but I don't even know how to start. And if I do start, I might end up sounding like an obsessed freak and I'm pretty sure he doesn't need anymore of those.

I happened to look at him. Luckily he was more focused ahead of him. I stared at his cobalt fur. It looked so soft. I wanted to touch it. Wait what...?

"Hey Sasha?"
Startled by the sudden break of silence, I reply to Sonic. "Y-yea...?"
"You don't talk much, do you?" He asked.

Oh man. He probably already thinks I'm weird.

"Is that weird...?" I asked, playing with a strand of my brown hair, feeling embarrassed.
He chuckled. "Nah. It's normal for for a person to be shy."
"At least somebody thinks so..." I mumbled.
"What was that?"

"Oh...nothing."

My eyes wandered around my surroundings.

So this is what new mobotropolis looks like in real life.

"Pretty cool place, huh?" Sonic asks.

"Yea, it is." I say, still admiring the sight.

While we walked, Sonic told me all about new mobotropolis and how it was built by his friend Nicole. Then he told me about all of his friends who live here and about the royal family of Acorn.

Being a fan and all, it's not like I don't know all this, but it more interesting hearing it straight from the source. While listening to Sonic's story, the corners of my lips started to form a small smile.

"Hey, I think that's the first time I seen you smile since you been here."

"Oh, u-umm...really?" I replied, feeling completely flustered.

"Yea, you don't seem to smile much. You should do it more often. You have a nice smile." Sonic says smiling at me.

"Heh heh, sure..." I chuckled nervously, before looking away.

I never smiled at anyone before except for Anthony, Angel, and Ma, but those are usual weak smiles. And if I do smile at someone it's either a fake smile or a devilish smirk.

Wait...why do my cheeks feel warm? Am I blushing? Why am I blushing? Is it because...Sonic said I have a nice smile...? No way! I'm so stupid to be blushing over something like that.

I shook the ridiculous thought out of my head. Good thing it was to dark for Sonic to notice that."We made it." Sonic said as we walked up to the front door step. I watched as Sonic knocked on the door. "Just to warn you, she can be a bit...crazy, but don't worry she's cool." I nodded At his reassuring words.

After a few seconds, door opened revealing an all to familiar pink hedgehog.

"Sonic! It's you!" Amy squealed, giving Sonic a death hug.
"...Amy...can't...breathe..."Sonic struggled to say.

"Oops, sorry Sonic." Amy apologized.
I couldn't help but chuckle at this.
Amy then notices me and smiles. "Oh. Hi, I'm Amy Rose." She greeted me while holding out her hand.
"I'm Sasha." I say shaking her hand.
After catching his breathe, Sonic starts to explain what happened. "Sasha here came all the way from Earth. Eggman somehow managed to send Metal Sonic there to kidnap her and changed her into a mobian like us."
"That's terrible!" Amy exclaims.
"Until we figure out how to change her back to normal and send her back to Earth, do you mind if she stays here until then?"
Amy grabs my hands excitingly. "Sure, I don't mind at all! Oh Sasha, we are going to be the best of friends!"

Dear god...

I laughed nervously at her, while Sonic just chuckled.
"Go easy on her, Amy. I'll catch you girls later." Sonic says before zooming off.
"Bye Sonic!" We both yell after him.
"C'mon on Sasha. I'll show you to your room." Amy says as we walk inside.

I glance around the house. It's a cute little cozy place. Everything is either pink or has flowers on it.

If Angel was here she would love this place.

That reminds me...I wonder how things are back at home since I've been gone. Ma, Anthony, and must all be worried, especially Ma.

Walking past the den, I follow Amy upstairs and down the hallway. Eventually we stop at a room.

"Well, here it is. The bathroom is next door and if you need anything I'll be in my room down the hall, ok?" Amy says as she opens the door and turns on the light.

"Ok. Thanks Amy."

"No problem, Sasha. Goodnight." Amy smiled at me before going to her room.

I walked in the room and closed the door. Letting a sigh escape my lips, I soak in my surroundings.

The room was quite big for a guest room. The walls and carpet were light pink with white furniture.

And to think I escaped that girly cave I called my room, I managed to end up in worse.

I walked towards the vanity and stared at my reflection.

...I can't believe I became a tiger...my favorite animal...but why?

I moved my hand touch one of my ears on the top of my head. As soon as my finger tips came in contact with my ear, it twitched. Feeling a bit freaked out, I snatched my hand away.

...How did I do that...?

I traced along the edges of my ears with my finger tips. They were very soft. I started to wiggle my ears freely. They were actually...kind of cute. I couldn't help but let a small chuckle escape my lips.

I wonder something...

Grinning at myself in the mirror, I noticed that my teeth have gotten sharper. I poked at one of my incisors with my index to confirm that they are indeed sharp. They look more like fangs now.

Interesting.

Looking at my hands, I saw that my nails were long and sharp like claws. I started to examine them more closely, but before I could look at them more closely, they retracted.

What!? How did that happen?

Confused, I tried to summon them again, but failed at it. Running my fingers through my hair, I decided to give up and just go to sleep. It's been a long day and for once I actually felt really exhausted. I slipped off my shoes and jacket before climbing into bed, being mindful of my newly grown tail. I pulled over the pink floral duvet covers and stared at the ceiling best way I could through my messy bangs.

So let's reflect on what happened today...I woke this morning feeling worse than my usual crappy self. I spent the whole morning worrying about having my past exposed by a stupid bastard. Got pissed off by some sluts. Threw up. Got trapped in a fire. Woke up on a different planet only to be greeted by a fictional character that I never knew that actually existed. Transformed into a mobian tiger. Rescued by more fictional characters I never knew existed. Nearly had a heart attack on a plane. Spent hours being tested on in a lab. And now I'm staying in a house that is nearly drenched in pink...sounds legit.

My chest rose and then fell as I released a big sigh.

Looks like my wish came true...one part of me is glad and the other part of me is worried. I'm glad that I was actually able to get away from all those douche bags and dirty sluts and that I was able to escape having my past exposed to the entire school. Not only that, I was able to escape to mobius, the place I've been dying to go to.

About the worried part. I'm worried that all this...might be just a dream. What if it's all a dream and I never really left?...What if...I close my eyes...and wake up...back on Earth...back to my crappy life?

My eyelids started grow heavy. Before I knew it, I drifted off to sleep.

This chapter kinda sucked. And again I'm sorry it took so long. I'm gonna try not to take as long for the next chapter.

Anyways, thanks for reading.
